From there, you can create subpages. You must have engaging brochures you make with some appealing podcasts with music in the background. You are going to also have to write a business letter, and create a mail merge with a list of names I provide in MS Word for mailing purposes.

You should pick a theme for your organization that will help people.

Make brochures with information from your shared sources and other attractive posts to put on your wiki so potential customers can view and download from your wiki
pages (website).

Make a podcast(s) to post on your wiki using information from your shared sites bookmarks. (Depending on time)

Make a shared site to record how much money your business is earning. (Possible next marking period).


Business Names- Your Project Should Not Include Names on it. We will decide if we should make it a contest and you can vote on one another's travel businesses at the end of the project to see which one is the best. Perhaps, we can have the seventh grade look at them quickly and vote on them.
